Keep trying. For as long as you've been on FR, I'm surprised that you don't recognise a troll M.O. The gist of the article is secondary a year later.
I don't spend time worrying about trolls and kitty cats and IBTZ or any of that childish nonsense.
I click on threads that catch my attention for whatever reason and comment on posts I see there.
My posts usually concern concepts. Sometimes when I'm bored, I get sucked into mindless exchanges like the one I currently involved in. Posts about posters.
Oh well, it's a slow friday.
